IoT Internet of Things

ISO/IEC 29182-2:2013 is intended to facilitate the development of International Standards in sensor networks. It presents terms and definitions for selected concepts relevant to the field of sensor networks. It establishes a general description of concepts in this field and identifies the relationships among those concepts. It may also be used as guidance for development of other parts of ISO/IEC 29182 and any other sensor network related standard.

ISO/IEC 29182-3:2014 provides Sensor Network Reference Architecture (SNRA) views. The architecture views include business, operational, systems, and technical perspectives, and these views are presented in functional, logical, and/or physical views where applicable. ISO/IEC 29182-3:2014 focuses on high-level architecture views which can be further developed by system developers and implementers for specific applications and services.

This document provides a standardized IoT Reference Architecture using a common vocabulary, reusable designs and industry best practices. It uses a top down approach, beginning with collecting the most important characteristics of IoT, abstracting those into a generic IoT Conceptual Model, deriving a high level system based reference with subsequent dissection of that model into the four architecture views (functional view, system view, networking view and usage view) from different perspectives.

This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 5741.
